George
Bush said that "the final history in the region has yet to be written"
but what is interesting about the violence in Iraq, Lebanon and the
Gaza strip is that all three involved terrorist groups are trying
to thwart the spread of democracy. "Iran is obviously part of the
problem," he added. "Imagine if they had a nuclear weapon."[1]

As
recently as January 2005 Halliburton sold key components for a nuclear
reactor to an Iranian development company.[2]
They previously claimed that they would discontinue
doing business in Iran. However, that claim didn't include its subsidiary
companies.[3]
I am not a scientist but a nuclear reactor is a source for plutonium
or enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. Iran doesn't have nuclear
weapons. Religious leaders vigorously deny that they are working on
nuclear weaponry. If Iran possessed weapons, they would use them for
self-defense because both Israel and the United States have nuclear
bombs and superior delivery systems. Any offensive use of potential
nuclear weapons would guarantee national suicide for Iran.[4]

In
early January 2007, it was revealed that Israel had developed secret
plans to destroy Iran's uranium enrichment facilities with tactical
nuclear weapons, the first use of nuclear weapons since 1945, "when
the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki."[5]
In addition, "The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President
Dick Cheney's office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command
(STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response
to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States.

The
plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional
and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450
major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program
development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground
and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear
option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on
Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against
the United States."[6]

Destabilization
for Iran has been in the plotting stages in U.S. private foundations
and think-tanks. A military strike against Iran's nuclear energy production
facilities would most definitely affect the economy. The other objective
- overthrow the Iranian government. Multinational companies, along
with covert military operations supply oil-rich countries, and encourage
infrastructure development by acquiring World Bank loans. The greedy
seize the resources, collect the money, eliminate leaders and install
puppet governments who will accommodate globalist demands. Some dictators
call that democracy; in reality it is fascism, an incestuous, symbiotic
relationship between government and big business.

"Both
Israel and the United States have leaderships greatly influenced by
religious groups whose principles encourage and welcome violent expansionism
and even apocalyptic, 'end-time' scenarios. The media do not mention
U.S. and Israeli religious fanaticism as posing any kind of regional
or global existential threat. Nor do they discuss or express great
concern over the fact that whereas a few nuclear weapons would only
help Iran to deter other states from attacking it, the United States
and Israel could use nuclear weapons against Iran without committing
national suicide."[7]

Why
is it that Cheney is regularly involved in any issue dealing with
a designated "axis of evil" country and weaponry? Read about the 1991
cable regarding
North and South Korea from Secretary of State James Baker to Dick
Cheney when he was the Secretary of Defense. Baker recently headed
the bipartisan Iraq Study Group which recommended a withdrawal of
U.S. troops by early 2008. However, Bush is committed to the recommendations
of the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) instead.
Dick Cheney, as previously mentioned was a senior fellow with this
group in 1993. Cheney's wife, Lynne has been a senior fellow at the
American Enterprise Institute since 1993.

George
W. Bush said on National Public Radio on Monday, January 29, 2007,
that the United States will respond "firmly" if Iran escalates its
"military action" in strife-stricken Iraq to the detriment of our
troops or the Iraqi people. Gordon Johndroe, U.S. National Security
Council spokesman, urged Iran to discontinue their 'destructive' behavior
in Iraq. Further, he stated that the U.S. would welcome a constructive
stance from Iran.[8]
Statistics indicate that the greatest detriment to Iraq and her civilians
is the result of continued American presence and our use of depleted
uranium weapons - responsible for the deaths and maiming of thousands.

The
U.S. Pentagon Propaganda Ministry is disseminating disinformation
(brainwashing)
including a false
claim that Ahmadinejad stated he wanted to "wipe Israel off the
map." Or perhaps you heard the story about the infamous, distorted,
allegedly anti Semitic International
Conference on the Holocaust in Iran. The disinformation agents
also claim that "networks of Iranians that had been operating with
virtual impunity inside Iraq." This Tonkin Bay type claim will undoubtedly
be used to justify an invasion of Iran. Apparently five American soldiers
were killed on January 20, 2007 which is being blamed on some Iranian
agents because of the unusual methods, weapons and uniforms.

The
new Secretary of War, Robert Gates, stated that "any kind of military
action inside Iran itself … would be a very last resort." Gates also
said "that the addition of 21,000 troops would be viewed as a temporary
surge." Almost in the same breath, Gates "announced that he was requesting
an increase in the size of the Army and Marine Corps by 92,000 troops
over the next five years."[9]
"Temporary" is obviously meaningless given the requested increase
in troops.

The
Pentagon is ready to make a proposal to Congress requesting that the
Army be "increased by 65,000, to 547,000 and that the Marine Corps,
the smallest of the services, grow by 27,000, to 202,000, over the
next five years." Because that will not supply sufficient cannon fodder
for endless warfare, the Pentagon has recently "abandoned its limit
on the time a citizen-soldier can be required to serve on active duty."[10]
Prepare for the sacrificing of your sons and daughters to military
servitude along with otherwise well-compensated mercenaries.

"Already,
private contractors constitute the second-largest 'force' in Iraq.
At last count, there were about 100,000 contractors in Iraq, of which
48,000 work as private soldiers, according to a Government Accountability
Office report. These soldiers have operated with almost no oversight
or effective legal constraints and are an undeclared expansion of
the scope of the occupation. Many of these contractors make up to
$1,000 a day, far more than active-duty soldiers. What's more, these
forces are politically expedient, as contractor deaths go uncounted
in the official toll."[11]
Contract employees are not subject to military command and discipline.

Bush
claims that "Together, we can restrain the spending appetite of the
federal government, and we can balance the federal budget."[12]
Given the amount of money
expended for war, this balancing act seems unrealistic or just
an outright lie. See Bush's previous budget.

There
are four
American submarines off the coast of Iran. The former commander
of the Russian fleet, Eduard Baltin, justifiably claims that the U.S.
is planning an imminent, unilateral attack on Iran.[13]
Donald Rumsfeld and the American Enterprise Institute, not Congress,
"developed a strategy for regime change in Iran that does not involve
a ground invasion. Weapons of mass destruction will provide the rationale
for military action, though it won't be limited to attacks on a few
weapons factories." The attack "will include limiting Iranian retaliatory
capability, using bombers to destroy up to 10,000 targets in the first
day of any war, and Special Forces flying in to destroy anything that's
left."[14]
Whatever retaliatory capabilities they possess were probably supplied
through Pentagon surpluses.

The
American
Enterprise Institute is a far right-wing, Neo-con think tank that
regularly embeds their people into influential government positions
to cement their globalist foreign and domestic policies. George W.
Bush admitted their influence in a speech, the Future of Iraq, at
a gathering on February 26, 2003. "At the American Enterprise Institute,
some of the finest minds in our nation are at work on some of the
greatest challenges to our nation. You do such good work that my administration
has borrowed 20 such minds."[15]
The Institute, prior to Bush's State of the Union speech on January
23, 2007, considered domestic and international challenges likely
to be highlighted in the speech as well as the war on terror.[16]

The
American Enterprise Institute has strong ties to the Project for a
New American Century (PNAC), co-founded in 1997 by William Kristol
(Weekly Standard) and Robert Kagan. Other early PNAC members included
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, and Elliott
Abrams, many of whom had roots in the Pentagon and previous Bush administration,
were appointed to strategic positions in the current Bush administration.
Other members included Gary Bauer, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and
Robert James Woolsey, former director of the CIA.

A
major PNAC focus was Iraq, long before September 11, 2001, the "New
Pearl Harbor."[17] Perle, a fellow at the American
Enterprise Institute, recently gave a talk in Israel at the Herzliya
Conference in which he said: "President George Bush will order an
attack on Iran if it becomes clear to him that Iran is set to acquire
nuclear weapons capabilities while he is still in office."[18]

PNAC
supports U.S. imperialistic exploitation of resources to further multinational
business interests through the use of preemptive military attacks
which necessitates a huge military budget at the expense of America's
social programs and infrastructure maintenance or reconstruction.
The benefactors are the government connected military-industrial-complex
which includes the Carlyle Group, a top Pentagon contractor. The Department
of Defense has adopted the PNAC program for world domination through
pervasive warfare.

So,
Iran is our newest enemy target, worthy of a probable invasion planned
by Cheney, because they possess nuclear components that Cheney and
Halliburton
sold to them in the first place. Where is the congressional or media
oversight? Perhaps key members of Congress are also indebted to the
same military/industrial complex for their conflict-of-interest elite
lifestyles? Political contributions are insignificant - investments
are even more financially beneficial, especially if that politician
serves on the right committees, like the Appropriations Committee
as well as the Select Committee on Intelligence. It makes exploiting
the system more convenient.[19]

Iran
is the last oil-rich holdout in the regime's objective for Middle
East domination. When the globalists seize all the resources, they
will exert tyrannical control over everything else - the world's populace!

The
Caspian Basin and Central Asia are the keys to energy in the 21st
century. Whoever controls the oil routes from Central Asia will control
distribution, quantities, and prices.
